Flights to Uganda

If you're looking for a destination full of adventure and wildlife, you might want to add Uganda to your travel bucket list. Uganda, nicknamed 'The Pearl of Africa', is a landlocked country in East Africa. It deserves this nickname because of its many natural wonders like the thunderous Murchison Falls, the misty mountain gorillas of Bwindi and the enormous Lake Victoria, Africa's largest freshwater lake.

There are plenty of things to do for thrill-seekers - we recommend booking a wildlife safari, going white-water rafting on the Nile River and hiking the Rwenzori Mountains if you truly want to make the most of your trip in Uganda!

To start your trip off right in Uganda, you'll want to consider visiting Kampala, the country's capital. This city, relatively young, was founded in 1889, achieved its municipal status in 1950 and was officially recognised as a city in 1962. It's conveniently located on several hills along the northern shores of Lake Victoria, which is Africa's largest freshwater lake.

It's a good idea to start your Ugandan adventure here because the city has many opportunities to learn about the country's history and culture - you can visit the Uganda Museum which houses a collection of traditional Ugandan crafts and musical instruments, or discover the Baha'i Temple, a religious structure that has panoramic views of Kampala from its hilltop location.

Reaching Kampala by air can be challenging as the city doesn't have its own airport, but it's not far from Entebbe which has an international airport with direct routes to other major cities in Europe and Africa. The best time to visit Kampala is during the dry seasons which are December-February and June-August - the weather is sunny and dry, which is ideal if you're planning to go sightseeing in the city.

Stretch your travel budget without breaking the bank. With Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) options, you can manage the cost of your flights to Uganda at your own pace by dividing the total into smaller, manageable instalments.

If you settle your payments within the agreed timeframe, many BNPL providers will waive the interest fees (check with payment provider) - this frees up your budget for other trip essentials, ensuring a stress-free and financially comfortable adventure to Uganda.
